hey guys, so ive got to much negative camber and its eating up my rear tires, im planning to get adjustable camber arms, but in the mean time, can i simply jack my car up and turn out the lower shock tubes to increase my ride hight (only like 20-30 mm) so what i want to know is, can i straight up adjust my ride hight in the rear without needing an allignment or anything like that???

thanks!

ud be better off creating a new hole, instead of elongating the existing one. obviously u want to leave some decent meat between the 2 holes, i dont know how much there is, if it was me id probably drill a new hole right down near the bottom, then weld some metal on top with a hole that lines up to reinforce it.

my suspension can have its ride height adjusted simply by unbolting the bottom legs and turning them, i dont have a clue what your talking about drilling new holes

get a wheel alignment is a start lol

wat car u got? im guessing 34 from the pic

they have adjustable rear arms from factory but only with mildish adjustment

if you cant afford the car, why have you got it???

you getting a brain is a start, lol

i thought it obvious to all that the car would have gotten a car an alignment when lowered, what kind of a shop would let it leave without doing one in the first place! so yes the factory ones are fully turned out

ive asked if i will need a new alignment with just raising the hight 20mm or so in the rear

and yes i can afford it and its prolly better then what uve got

when u said turn out i thought u meant making the hole bigger. i guess it was possibly a bit of false hope that it was a more advanced question than the same stuff we get in this section every day.

yes u have to get an alignment when u change the height, mainly because of dynamic toe, ur toe being out will wear ur tyres quicker than camber, and cant be rotated as well as camber wear.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
